One thing that does annoy me, people who say ‘lol’. I mean what’s the big deal with ‘lol’?

People who say ‘lol’

1. Okay, everyone knows what ‘lol’ means, and if you don’t, it’s short for Laugh Out Loud, but in most cases when people use it, they don’t laugh out loud.

2. This evil word is a conversation killer, on Messenger anyway. Mind you, the typical conversation on Messenger nowadays goes something along the lines of this:

Lee Says:

Hey

Person Says:

Hey

Lee Says:

How are you?

Person Says:

Okay, how are you?

Lee Says:

Not bad thanks

Person Says:

Kwl

Lee Says:

So wuu2

Person Says:

Nout really you?

Lee Says:

Same I guess.

Person Says:

Okay

And that is a typical conversation on Messenger, so what is the point of actually signing onto a Messenger Client if everyone says the same thing?

3. On the odd but regular case of someone saying this abbreviated word, it’s when there is nothing else to say, or you don’t know what to say and feel awkward. So sometimes you may get this when you say something:

Lee Says:

I need to tell you something, I’m pregnant..

Person Says:

lol! LOL

Obviously i’m not pregnant and never will be since i’m male, but that’s an example..

4. I say the word ‘lol’ lot’s of times myself but I usually use an alternative to try and stop being common (No offence ‘lol’ users :P). The alternatives I may use are:

• He he
• I am laughing out loud, literally.
• Hah!
• Yeah!
• ..

So there you have it, a few examples you may want to use. I’ve been wanting to rant about this for a while because it is starting to do my head in lol!
